PROFILE

Mikaël Ducharme

Worked across mozilla/gcp-ingestion and mozilla/terraform-modules to deliver robust data engineering and DevOps solutions. Built and enhanced Airflow DAGs for scalable data ingestion, staging, and secure transfers using Python and BigQuery, improving analytics reliability and governance. Developed and maintained Terraform modules to strengthen Google Cloud Monitoring, automate semantic PR validation, and stabilize GKE node pools, applying Infrastructure as Code best practices with HCL and YAML. Improved CI/CD pipelines by implementing GitHub Actions for automated Docker image builds and per-project workflows, reducing deployment churn and accelerating releases. Focused on maintainability, documentation clarity, and operational stability throughout each project.

Apr 1, 2026

April 2026 monthly summary focusing on delivering targeted CI/CD improvements and stabilizing infrastructure to reduce deployment churn and accelerate releases. Key features delivered: - mozilla/gcp-ingestion: Refined CI/CD workflow by separating build-and-push into per-project workflows with path filters for ingestion-edge and ingestion-sink, improving control and maintainability. Commit: 87bb3f47267017ac961dd47b0bfbe205fffe96ac (fix: split build-and-push into per-project workflows with path filters (#2920)). Major bugs fixed: - mozilla/terraform-modules: Prevent unnecessary pool replacements by ignoring ephemeral_storage changes on GKE GPU nodes. This fixes drift caused by live state differences in ephemeral storage, stabilizing clusters and reducing operational churn. Commit: d0a54b8261a010c20333cb1d8de1749398331cf7 (fix(google_gke): ignore ephemeral_storage_local_ssd_config drift (#464) ... SVCSE-4429 SVCSE-4142). Overall impact and accomplishments: - Faster, more predictable releases due to targeted CI/CD workflow changes and drift-avoidance in GKE node pools. - Reduced deployment churn and plan/apply failures in infrastructure changes, improving reliability for ingestion workloads and GPU-enabled clusters. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - GitHub Actions workflow design and per-project orchestration; Docker image build/push strategies. - Terraform module best practices including ignore_changes for dynamic cloud state; GKE node pool management. - Kubernetes/GKE operational awareness and cross-repo collaboration to stabilize cloud-native deployments. Business value: - Shorter, more reliable release cycles for ingestion pipelines and more stable GPU-backed infrastructure, enabling faster feature delivery and reduced maintenance toil.

Aug 1, 2025

Month 2025-08: Delivered two major data orchestration improvements in mozilla/telemetry-airflow. Migrated and enhanced the PeopleTeam monthly data DAG from Composer to Airflow, enabling scalable ingestion, staging in BigQuery, and a merge workflow with improved column handling and default operator cleanup. Also introduced the People Integration Data Pipeline (Workday to TripActions) to extract data from Workday, load into BigQuery, and securely transfer to SFTP, with updated secrets and connection IDs. Implemented targeted fixes across both pipelines to enhance reliability, security, and operational simplicity. The work delivers faster, more reliable monthly analytics and stronger data governance for partner integrations.

Jul 1, 2025

Monthly work summary for 2025-07 (mozilla/terraform-modules). Key focus: improve contributor experience and PR quality. Delivered a simplified PR template to streamline contributions and link related tickets, removing the old changelog entry section to reduce noise. No major bugs fixed this month in the repository; efforts centered on process improvements and maintainability. Key outcomes: - Reduced PR review friction by clarifying structure and expectations through the new template. - Streamlined contribution workflow by removing noise from changelog entries. - Established a foundation for consistent PR practices across the repo, aiding onboarding and collaboration.

Summary for April 2025 (mozilla/terraform-modules): Delivered a major feature and fixed documentation to strengthen monitoring capabilities and cost clarity. The Google Cloud Monitoring Uptime Check Alert Policy Configuration adds inline alert policy support to the google_monitoring Terraform module, enabling defined alert conditions, severity, and notification channels for uptime checks. This enhances proactive monitoring, reduces incident response time, and improves governance over alerting configurations. A documentation fix in google_monitoring README updates parameters for production and non-production environments (period, selected_regions, alignment_period) and revises cost examples to reflect current usage, reducing misconfigurations and improving cost estimations. Overall impact: stronger monitoring coverage, lower deployment risk, and improved transparency for stakeholders. Technologies/skills demonstrated: Terraform module development, Google Cloud Monitoring integration, IaC best practices, and documentation maintenance.
